A little bit about me

Hello there! I'm Amanda and I am a Senior Marketing student at the University of Iowa. During my high school and college summer breaks, I nannied a little girl (from age 6-9). We loved to ride bikes around the neighborhood and spend the hot days at the pool. Her mother would say that I treated her like she was my own! I also tutored several children over the summer from grade-school math and reading to Advanced Placement Calculus. Additionally, I completed 12 credit hours of college credit in Elementary Education, as I want to eventually pursue a teaching license. If you are interested in chatting a bit more about a full-time position feel free to contact me at [email hidden]. Hope to hear from you soon!

A little bit about me

Hello!
I my name is Margaret Gallagher. I am 20 years old and a student at University of Iowa majoring in Elementary Education and a minor in Psychology. I have several years of child care experience working with ages from 3 months to 12 years old. I am happy to send references and/or resume at any time. I enjoy working with the families together to create a safe and fun atmosphere for the kid(s). My goal is to help make the parents lives easier while creating a bond with the kids from creating new games with them, working on homework, to baking a dessert (for after dinner of course). Additionally, I try to create an encouraging mindset to build confidence with kids to feel safe to be themselves and to trust me. I have a deep passion for child care and my goal of becoming a teacher has been set since I was 5 years old and every family I have worked with, every education class I have taken, and all my teaching internships I have done has only strengthened my admiration for kids.
